List of medals in Wallace's The Malay Archipelago book

This is the tenth edition (1890) of Wallace's epic travel book
The Malay Archipelago: The Land of the Orang-utan and the Bird of
Paradise; a Narrative of Travel, with Studies of Man and Nature.
This particular book was Wallace's own copy and in the front he has
written a list entitled 'medals awarded to me'. There are four
medals listed, including the Gold Medal of the Linnean Society.
Wallace has also noted he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society
in 1893. During Wallace's life, his contributions to science were
highly regarded and he was one of the most famous scientists of his
era.

Wallace was a serious and driven naturalist but he was not fond
of public praise and was unpretentious. Wallace was a modest man
and received his medals with a little pride mixed with humour, as
illustrated in a letter he wrote to his
daughter Violet.
